Let's put an end to this class/job debate HERE!

Precisely because it doesn't need to be like "all other MMOs". At some point the copy/paste has gotta stop and someone has to try to do something different and make it awesome. There's a very good reason why I'm not playing other MMOs lol. If I wanted what "all other MMO's" had, i'd be playing them.

But it isn't like every other MMO because you can be a bunch of other classes and jobs.

Come on man! I'm just saying to be able to specialize. You will be unique and distinguished from other players yet still have the flexibility of switching classes/jobs. Example:

-You have: DRK, WHM, RNG, and SMN.
-Someone else: DRK, WHM, BRD, and BST.

No two people will be alike!

Cmon man, think this through. The job system is basically the exact same thing except you are not locked in. I see no reason to forcibly lock anyone into a job. I just don't. If ppl want to lock themselves into certain jobs, by all means go for it. Why everyone else though? Can you imagine what happens when class elitism does the usual that it does in FFXIV? Except now, you can't switch! "What's that, didn't lock into DRK? lol gtfo"

I like the freedom. Why are ppl so hellbent on taking it away.

I don't get how other MMOs survived then. Especially that one little forgettable MMO called WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

And by the way you still have freedom...

Other MMO's survived because ppl wanted to play them. You play the system you like. If you want to be locked in a class/job, play a game that does so. If you want an auction house, play a game with an auction house. For every game that comes into existence, there will always be someone who enjoys it.

That said, FFXIV has its own system. For some reason, this system threatens everyone to the point where they want it changed and they want it changed now. Truthfully, ppl say they want "new" but really what they want is "old" wrapped up in a pretty new package. They want status quo, they want comfort. When confronted with something that is truly new and unknown, the minds of individuals tend to have a visceral reaction. Brains don't like it when they are forced to accept new ideas, and new ways of thinking/perceiving things.

You need to ask yourself what it is about the armoury system that demands you change it. Newness is obviously causing your mind to have a visceral reaction. You have therefore proposed a change that is more of a downgrade than an upgrade. For some reason the freedom is burdensome for you, it gives you too many choices and *maybe* too many responsibilities. I'm not familiar with your psyche so I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that you are not operating out of logic, but out of psychological comfort.
